Not that I’ll have time to play it now, but is DE:HR worth picking up for $7.50 today to play at a later date? Note that I enjoyed Fallout 3 (have Vegas but have yet to play it), so I’m leaning towards yes, but figured I’d ask while also drawing attention to the sale.

It’s also getting really cheap for consoles. Down to $19.99 for PS3 and 360 and I have seen it even cheaper on Passwird.com some days. I think it’s a good deal at $7.50 from Steam, plus all the DLC is on sale.

Yeah, it has it’s flaws and the ending is very Multiple Choice, but it’s a great game regardless. Not really in the same ballpark as Fallout, though, it’s got a more directed story even though it’s still very open. Not better or worse than Fallout, just different. Very worth playing.

I say yes. I enjoyed the game a lot. It felt like a true successor to the original with lots of freedom to play the game the way you want. It actually feels a bit old fashioned with a slower pace than most modern games.

If you do go for it. I strongly advise not trying to min max your character. You can easily suck all the fun out of the game that way and apart from a few boss fights it isn’t very hard. My enjoyment of the game went up considerably once I decided to choose upgrades based on what sort of character I want to play rather than what is the strongest option according to the internet.
